jawillwill Posted 26 November, 2011 Posted 26 November, 2011 What's up with him then? Would be handy if he wasn't out for too long...
beatlesaint Posted 26 November, 2011 Posted 26 November, 2011 What's up with him then? Would be handy if he wasn't out for too long... I'm sure Nigel wont reveal anything in his after match interview, he never discusses injuries, so we probably wont know for a while.
S-Clarke Posted 26 November, 2011 Posted 26 November, 2011 Twisted awkwardly and did his knee. Didn't even bother to attempt to restart - he went straight off being helped by the physios. I'm ****ting it cause I think it's going to be a bad one. Best case is weeks from how it sounded. (I think Sibley made a tweet that his knee was bent?)
trousers Posted 26 November, 2011 Posted 26 November, 2011 Sibley tweeted at half time that "his knee gave way beneath him".... :-(
the wedge Posted 26 November, 2011 Posted 26 November, 2011 Without wishing to scaremonger, doesn't he have history with his knee?
Rod Le Shearer Posted 26 November, 2011 Posted 26 November, 2011 Probably an ACL injury, unfortunately. Thats the usual suspect to give way when twisting the knee by turning/changing direction. Out for the season if thats the case, hope not though!
alpine_saint Posted 26 November, 2011 Posted 26 November, 2011 Sounds like cruciate ligament damage. We'll be lucky to see him again this season.
Leicestersaint Posted 26 November, 2011 Posted 26 November, 2011 I really hope it isn't too bad. I think he has been one of our best players so far this season.
Huffton Posted 26 November, 2011 Posted 26 November, 2011 I absolutely love the amount of pyschic physios we have on this forum.
ottery st mary Posted 26 November, 2011 Posted 26 November, 2011 :rolleyes:After the physio splashed him...someone commented he had water on the knee:rolleyes:
S-Clarke Posted 26 November, 2011 Posted 26 November, 2011 I absolutely love the amount of pyschic physios we have on this forum. TBF Nigel sounded quite downbeat about it after the game, didn't let onto too much, usually you'd hear him try to reassure etc.
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 26 November, 2011 Posted 26 November, 2011 I see the forum spastics are out in force tonight
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 26 November, 2011 Posted 26 November, 2011 Would be disappointed if it's something which keeps him out for a while as he's been one of the standout performers in recent games. That said, Chappers grabbed his chance to stay in the team when Lallana was out injured and this could be a chance for Steeeeeve to take his place on the wing. Maybe Holmes even.
Saint_clark Posted 26 November, 2011 Posted 26 November, 2011 Sounds like cruciate ligament damage. We'll be lucky to see him again this season. Based on what?
James Posted 26 November, 2011 Posted 26 November, 2011 A lot of people jumping the gun here I feel. I'm hoping its not serious but there's no point in saying he's done his ACL and wondering if we'll see him again this season until we have it confirmed. Could easily have just been a bad jarring which will settle down. If it was cruciate then he wouldn't have been walking off the pitch (aided or not).
beatlesaint Posted 26 November, 2011 Posted 26 November, 2011 Gutted with result, tweaked my knee hopefully not out to long will know more after scan! Hope to be back ASAP #fingerscrossed from the horses mouth ! Think all the cruciate ligament doom merchants can relax, hopefully.
JoeShmoe Posted 26 November, 2011 Posted 26 November, 2011 Chappers tweeted that he's tweaked his knee, having a scan but hopes nothing serious. Seems to me he's more important to us just now than Adam is
LeBenali Posted 27 November, 2011 Posted 27 November, 2011 The fact he walked (hobbled) off rather than left the pitch on a stretcher is hopefully a sign that it isn't too serious.
Badger Posted 27 November, 2011 Posted 27 November, 2011 Would be disappointed if it's something which keeps him out for a while as he's been one of the standout performers in recent games. That said' date=' Chappers grabbed his chance to stay in the team when Lallana was out injured and this could be a chance for Steeeeeve to take his place on the wing. Maybe [b']Holmes[/b] even. Yes, Holmes, always worth a mention on thread concerning injuries.
frankie Posted 27 November, 2011 Posted 27 November, 2011 Rchap04 Richard chaplow “@Sussexsaint72: @Rchap04 hows the knee this morning Chappers ?”a Lil sore I'm optimistic that I wont be out long. Latest from Twitter Frankie
sussexsaint Posted 27 November, 2011 Posted 27 November, 2011 Chuffed he replied to me. Top bloke. Fingers crossed wont be long.
Dalek2003 Posted 27 November, 2011 Posted 27 November, 2011 All fingers and toes crossed that Chappers will be out for just weeks and not months. He has been a revelation this season.
scotty Posted 27 November, 2011 Posted 27 November, 2011 All fingers and toes crossed that Chappers will be out for just weeks and not months. He has been a revelation this season. Yep, he has been terrific. Makes such a difference to the team, I'd rate him as one of our top players this season.
RonManager Posted 27 November, 2011 Posted 27 November, 2011 poo pants Really?? Didn't realise the injury was'nt just confined to the knee. Arse.
mitch01 Posted 27 November, 2011 Posted 27 November, 2011 Even six months ago I didn't rate Chaplow in the slightest. Now I think he's one of our best players. Hope he's back for the derby.
dubai_phil Posted 27 November, 2011 Posted 27 November, 2011 Hmmm I will have words with his knee Doc on Tuesday.
Smirking_Saint Posted 27 November, 2011 Posted 27 November, 2011 Hmmm I will have words with his knee Doc on Tuesday. Don't go on too long then, I expect we would all much rather he spent time trying to fix Chappers then listen to your golf stories.
corsacar saint Posted 27 November, 2011 Posted 27 November, 2011 Any fans who thinks Chaplow will not be missed,have not been watching the same games as most of the clubs fan base. He has been magnificent.
Son of Bob Posted 28 November, 2011 Posted 28 November, 2011 His departure from the pitch and us losing 2-0 on Saturday was no coincidence! We really lacked something without him. He's been a revelation this season.
once_bitterne Posted 28 November, 2011 Posted 28 November, 2011 He tweeted yesterday that he didn't think he would be out too long.
Window Cleaner Posted 28 November, 2011 Posted 28 November, 2011 His departure from the pitch and us losing 2-0 on Saturday was no coincidence! We really lacked something without him. He's been a revelation this season. Probably because he's been moved into the position that suits him best,he's certainly not a defensive midfielder or a central midfielder for that matter. He's an attack minded player but as we had too many of those he was being used as a stop gap. We got his replacement wrong on Saturday, we should have shuffled the pack by putting Morgan in his preferred holding /distribution role and sending Cork forward.It was obvious but NA seems not to want to change what they've been working on all week in training.If only matches were just like training,they'd all finish with handball scores,28-25 or something like that.
ottery st mary Posted 28 November, 2011 Posted 28 November, 2011 (edited) If you have been working to a plan then surely when Chappers went off why not replace him with SDR .. stretch them and leave the two midfielders Cork and Hammond....Continue with the tactics adapt/review when required.. Spiderman complicated the system and the middle was congested and they still won the park.. and I am sure, SDR would have caused Brizzle more problems or at least more than Spiderman ever did... Review the game as you would at a later stage..and maybe then Spiderman for Cork or Hammond.. Nigel gave Brizzle the game with that wrong substitution at that time gave the game away... Just my OPINION................Take it or leave it..... AND remember Nigel is the main man and I am just the second best footer coach to him:rolleyes: Edited 28 November, 2011 by ottery st mary Forgot to add just my opinion and my own observation
fatboy Posted 28 November, 2011 Posted 28 November, 2011 See Richard at Starbucks in Winchester. Had a steel brace on his leg. Said will be out for 4 weeks.
The9 Posted 28 November, 2011 Posted 28 November, 2011 See Richard at Starbucks in Winchester. Had a steel brace on his leg. Said will be out for 4 weeks. Won't be making the Fratton game then, he must be gutted.
locksheathsaint101 Posted 28 November, 2011 Posted 28 November, 2011 He has just posted on his twitter saying he has a scan later and will posted again later with news...
